They have raised the issue with the Stepping Hill Area Committee but despite them being told the council would look into the matter nothing has happened as a result.

Bellway Homes has nearly finished creating an estate of around 90 homes off nearby Lisburne Lane. It was due to be finished by the end of last year.

Residents fear the problem will become even worse when people start to move into the new houses.

Caroline Simpson, Stockport Council’s director for place, said: "We have ordered brand new ‘No-Through Route’ signs for Swanage Avenue which will replace the current faded ones. We will also report the mapping issue to the satellite navigation companies.

"The wider issue of the footpath will be reported and discussed at next Stepping Hill Area Committee, taking into account residents’ concerns."
